A procedure for stepwise regression analysis

A procedure for stepwise regression analysis for the non-experimental case is suggested. Regarding the problem as a multiple inference one, the procedure picks out the relevant regressors and, based on a slightly new approach, estimates the structure of dependencies among the variables involved.
